Product Introduction

Humog HP 75IU Injection contains menotrophin, an ovulation stimulator belonging to the gonadotropins group. It is a highly purified mixture of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), natural hormones produced in both males and females that help reproductive organs function normally.

Humog HP 75IU Injection is used to treat infertility in women who are not ovulating, including those with polycystic ovarian disease who have not responded to clomiphene citrate. It is also used to stimulate multiple follicles and promote fertility in women undergoing IVF or other assisted conception procedures. It is indicated to treat infertility in men due to low sperm count.

Do not take Humog HP 75IU Injection if you are allergic to menotrophin or any other ingredient of this medicine. Do not take this medicine if you have a tumour in the pituitary gland (located at the base of the brain and producing certain hormones including growth hormones), hypothalamus (an area under the thalamus that controls body conditions including temperature and blood pressure), uterus, ovaries, breast, testicles, or prostate gland.

Before initiating treatment, you will be checked for underactive thyroid problems, hormone levels, and tumours of the pituitary and hypothalamus. Do not take this medicine if you have ovarian cysts not due to PCOD, vaginal bleeding, early menopause, physical problems in the reproductive organs, if your womb has been removed, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Inform your physician immediately if you experience abdominal pain and swelling, weight gain, diarrhoea, difficulty in breathing, or decreased urination. Inform your physician if you have or have had liver problems or a history of blood clotting disease before starting treatment.

Uses

Infertility in men and women

How it works

In the absence of sufficient endogenous luteinizing hormone (LH), Humog HP 75IU Injection bind to the follicle stimulating hormone receptor (FSH), resulting in ovulation. It also attaches to the LH receptor, causing appropriate hormone release and treats infertility in women and men.

How to Use

It will be given to you by a doctor or nurse in a hospital or clinic setting. It is given as an intramuscular injection (into your muscles) or under the skin. Do not self-administer the injection. Your doctor will decide the dose, route of administration and duration of the treatment based on your disease severity, body weight, and other factors.

Side Effects

Side effects are unwanted symptoms caused by medicines. Even though all drugs cause side effects, not everyone gets them. Common Abdominal pain or swelling Headache Nausea Pelvic pain Overstimulation of ovaries Pain or inflammation at the injection site Mood swings Serious Severe allergic reactions (hypersensitivity reactions)

Expert Tips

If you have missed any dosing appointments, inform your doctor and schedule immediately. This medicine can increase your risk of ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy outside of the womb) if you have a history of fallopian tube disease, miscarriage, multiple pregnancies (twins and triplets), and birth defects in the baby. Your doctor will regularly perform ultrasound scans and blood tests to monitor your response to the treatment.
